Default The Macedonians in Central Asia and the spread of their Greek culture

This post is dedicated to all these Scopians who went to the airport in Scopje,dressed like ancient Macedonians,to wellcome the Hunza prince who pretends to be...Alexander the Great's descendand.These books write about the conquest and the rule by the Macedonians of the large Central Asian areas where today the states of Pakistan,Afghanistan,India are located and the consequent spread of Greek civilization by those Macedonians.The books are written either by local authors of these countries or by West European ones.As you'll notice the Macedonians,their culture and their language are considered by all these authors pure Greek.Read,Scopians,read and read again,youl'find everywhere the word GREEK accompanying the Macedonians.They spread everywhere in Asia only Greek civilization:The Greek culture,the Greek art,the Greek language,the Greek religion,the Greek way of life,everything Greek.Now,how the hell you believe that some poor natives of these lands could be connected with your Slavic culture and heritage,since your Slav ancestors didn't exist when Alexander's Macedonians conquered these lands?

The view of the Egyptian historians about the origin of the Macedonians:







The Iranian historians:






These authors are natives of countries that Alexander conquered and are considered the most competent to speak about the ethnicity of the ancient Macedonians.The real identity of the Macedonians survived in the folk tradition of their homelands,which always connected the name of Alexander,<Sikander> for them,to the ethnic name <Yunan>

Good stuff Kostas, I think Euro should have a look at this topic he denies that the Macedonians spread Hellenism.
